[News-ish, Jeze and Rory]

[She's spent days nearly dug completely into the dirt of her garden. The morning after the memories fade, the plants around town that had died show signs of new sprouts coming out of the dirt next to the dried stems. The dead parts don't resurrect, but new growth appears.]

[News: Roadhouse, Public]

[The roadhouse on the edge of town? Yeah, you know, the one that used to be a firehouse before, and been on-again, off-again for sale since fucking forever? Somebody's bought it out. The previous owner started gutting the place before, and whoever they are now, they're finishing the job.

As the local gossip goes: seems somebody is turning the place into a gym, and it ain't your mother's gym. Judging by all the second-hand equipment getting hauled in, the place will have an extensive selection of racks, weights, heavy bags, and benches. More strength and weight training than elliptical machines, but still beats out the rec center's geriatric collection by far. (Oh yeah, tired of the rec center's lone bench being perpetually camped on by some bro? No longer, my dude.)

No advertisements show up around town. Either the owner has a real shrewd understanding of how gossip works in this town or is, perhaps, not very good at this business thing at all. But while work is ongoing, one very handmade sign gets tacked to the garage door out front. It lists contact info for the interested, promising dirt cheap membership, free months for referrals, and some kind of class schedule soon.]

Secret Santa Delivery: Jeze K

[Santa said you were going to regret this, Jeze. The first gift is reasonable enough. The package contains a few small wrapped boxes. The first box just holds a piece of chiseled rock that has no way to authenticate its exact origin since it's pretty illegal. It looks right. The rest of the items are secondary: a crystal necklace, a vest that reminds Santa of druids, and a bracelet that does have an official statement of where the stones came from.

The second gift package is a whole lot heavier. Again the top box has a seemingly inconspicuous component within. No way to authenticate it, but there is some Russian stamped along the back. The other boxes are secondary: some random packs of astronaut food (1, 2, 3, 4), a glass necklace, and the massive meteorite which is what is weighing the box down.]
